I’m starting to think that if we don’t really celebrate Christmas around here, maybe I should adopt this Valentine’s Day theme… I mean, buying yourself or your loved ones something small or big is not really the issue here, even the smalest gesture will count, however buying me a bag, from this little wishlist I asmbled here won’t do any harm ;)
Oh, in case you’re wondering, there is a good reason for each bag on my list:
1. Adele Tote for the love of stripes
2. Envelope Clutch for learning to size down my ginormous bags
3. Foldover In Green for my never ending green crush
4. Richmond Market Bag for stylish grocery shopping

Leather bags… It seems like it’s all I can see around me these days… Does this mean that I have to get it done already and buy one?
The obvious answer is yes but… I think I should wait for a while cause Almog Weiss and Mira Gafni, the ladies behind UnaUna, one of my ultimate fav shoe designers decided to start experimenting with designing bags… Their bags are made traditionally with raw leathers that makes it all look like the beginning of a long term relationship. All I can say is, say hello to my brand new bag crush!

I have a confession to make, since getting my first yellowish Cambridge Satchel it became my signature bag. Wherever I go, people keep asking me about it. I must admit that this obsession is going nowhere and I recently bought the brown one as well… I have a feeling that the pinkish one has my name written all over it. Just one more thing, I need to send a big thank you to my beautiful British friend Mor, who has no problem being my personal shopper when it comes to adding a new “Cambridge Satchel” to my ever growing collection.
And you my sweet and stylish readers, consider this as my early valentine love note to you ;)

Is it normal to have a designer crush…? Either way, the honest truth is I’m obsessed with Shani Bar’s shoes since day one! There is no nicer or gentler way to say it and my multiple posts can back me up! The way Shani grows her business with her own two hands and the help of her loving partner is inspiring. The best part is she doesn’t even think about slowing down. With a brand new store in Berlin, I’m sure you’re gonna run into some more of them around the world in no time.
I can go on and on but I better leave the talking for sweet Shani.
So… here we go!

Which materials do you work with?
I mainly work with leather materials. It’s my favorite and it doesn’t stop surprising me with It’s ability to change and take new forms.ShaniBar
What is the most unusual piece you have ever designed?
I designed a shoe for an art expo. The inspiration for it came from the world of carnivorous plants.
The name of the piece was called “Venus trap”. the shoe is divided into two parts, in the front it’s a simple pump in nude color, and in the back the form continues into a shape of a deep red flower that seduces the feet to get inside the shoe. When the foot slides in the shoe transforms it shape.

The power couple Shelly and Elon Satat-Kombor aka “CoupleOf” have done it again.
These two are like the bad kids on the Israeli shoeground. They are not afraid to bend or even break the rules and the outcome is their most wild collection by far.
My heart is racing and there are no words to describe the emotions that run deep and high.
Anyways, the good news is that you and I can find all this masculine beauty at Amalia Boutique.
